A totally original and extremely modern environmentally friendly and generally save-the-worldy brand new library service!

We aim to provide as wide a range of books as can be fit into a suitcase, but if there is anything you are particularly interested in, please let us know so we can be on the look out.

All of our lovely books are either donations to the cause, recycled from other library weedings or bought in charity shops; we aim to be as liberal and save-the-worldy as possible!

We do not charge fines, and you are welcome to keep the books for as long as it takes to read them, however books are lent on the understanding that if you have enjoyed something, you would not want to stop other people from reading it!

BOOKELF works in libraries and a massive book-lover, so is happy to talk to you about recommendations, or setting up your own reading groups.

The Travelling Suitcase Library is a completely free service; however cups of tea are always welcome. Any donations to the cause are more than welcome, we love books and believe you can never have too many.

To add yourself to the Travelling Suitcase Library mailing list, or for any questions, please email BOOKELF at…

Just a quick reminder post that next Saturday 1st October we are hosting an Autumnal Books Swap at Cafe 164 from 11-3 ish.The Cafe shall be selling lovely cakes and teas and that, but please feel to BYOB if you fancy a beer.

I've got loads of lovely books at the moment, but I am able to take donations that shall be taken to book swaps or distributed across the various book swap points growing around the city so please bring your tomes.

Anyone wanting to actually meet other book worms, we are having our usual monthly book swap this Sunday in Arcadia Bar in Headingley from about 5ish. The book club shall be meeting (see the LeedsBookClub blog for details on that) but anyone wanting to just swap books, please come on down!

The TSL is bursting at the moment, and having just moved house I am now able to take donations yet again, so anyone clearing out their shelves, you know how much we love you... and any books that I don't think would be that great in the suitcase I'll either donate to charity, or send the children's ones to the inner city Birmingham primary school we mentioned in earlier posts!

After a relatively quiet summer, I'm realy pleased to announce a special book swap shall be taking place in new Leeds venue Cafe 164 on 1 October between 11-3

Cafe 164 is a new arts cafe, selling all kinds of sweet treats and teas. The Book Swap shall be very informal, with loads of opportunities to meet people who are into what you're into, and rent merrily about tomes you love, live, or loathe.

The Travelling Suitcase Library shall of course be rocking up with as widest selection of books as can be fit into a suitcase, but please bring your tomes.

Cakes and hot drinks shall be available from Cafe, but anyone wanting a beer that early in the day is welcome to BYOB.
